The facilities were great. Right on Lake Ontario, and going down for sunset every night is common. We stayed in one of the RV loops with no issues except there was old pavement underneath the dirt at our site, when made staking the tent rather inconvenient. That was probably the only negative. Close to the Niagara Falls Park, and you get free parking there when staying at the local state parks. We'd go back and stay again. Local dive bar around the corner has great food as well when you don't want to cook (Bandana's). On a clear day you can see over the lake to Toronto.

| Beautiful park, light on amenities. | Sites have no shade, and are quite sunny on bright days. Can be very windy also, but mosquitoes & gnats bad when it's not.
Take longer spikes for your tent, because normal ones will come right out of the sand. Sites are just behind the dunes on the beach, & it's a beautiful place if you are beach lover. It can get a bit chilly at night during spring & fall.
Showers are cold water only, & not super private. Bathrooms are now permanent structures, but are still pit bathrooms. Water available is from a hand pump & is cold only. So if you are going for longer than a day or so, you probably want to get a solar shower.
Our last visit site had a firepit instead of grill. Firewood is readily available by local sellers outside the park.
Ocean City is about 15-20 minutes away if you seek a little excitement, & there's a Ruth's Chris that lets you wear jeans reasonably close as well if you seek something really fancy while camping.

| Great hiking trails, nice camping. | I might be biased from working here several years in my teens, but this is a great place to camp. Some sites are lakeside as well if that's what you like. Nice bathrooms w/showers, Laundry and Dump Station. Most of the campsites are shaded, a few walkup sites but most are RV friendly.
Small beach swimming area and paddleboat rental. LOTS of trails, one of which is 8.2 miles long. Website says they have stables and horse rental now but that was after my time so no idea how nice that is.

This is a nice campground. Almost all the sites have both shade and sun. There is a water spigot at almost every site, so we always take a short hose when we go here. Trails, Beach Access, Air Stations at all Vehicle Beach Fishing Access roads. Pet friendly campsites. Free hot showers. If it's a quiet night, you can hear the ocean from most sites. Just don't count on it being quiet on a weekend.
Quiet hours, checkout times, and pet leash rules not strictly enforced in our experience (unfortunately!) despite large sign saying otherwise.
Mosquitoes really bad this year (2011). The firewood bundles they sell have gotten smaller, the price has not. We bought wood from neighboring town of Lewes after the first night.
Campground is RV friendly but has a no generator running rule, I think that's new this year, but unsure because we always tent camp.
